The first public House impeachment inquiry hearings will begin next week. The Democrats are calling witnesses, and the Republican side has also proposed many witnesses. GOP Rep. Devin Nunes provided his list to Fox News:
Nunes gave his proposed impeachment witness list exclusively to Fox. It includes Hunter Biden, Nellie Ohr, the whistleblower, and the whistleblower’s unknown sources. https://t.co/vmIwAIda3d

Two GOP witnesses Dems might actually entertain: Kurt Volker and Tim Morrison, who already testified behind closed doors. https://t.co/vmIwAIda3d

THE LIST: Republicans’ first witness is Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden
Then Hunter Biden himself, and Alexandra Chalupa, an operative who previously spoke to Ukrainian officials in 2016 to obtain info on Trump/Manafort. pic.twitter.com/zm8A8gW0VF

And Nunes also ripped a page from Schiff’s playbook to use against him:
And in a swipe at the wording of Schiff’s warning to witnesses who refuse to testify, Nunes concludes that failure to call these witnesses will constitute evidence of fundamental unfairness and lack of use process. pic.twitter.com/abAGvU2GRD

Hey, what’s good for the Democrat goose is good for the Republican gander, right?

Naturally House Dems such as Rep. Don Beyer don’t like it:
The GOP defense of the President in public hearings on whether he committed high crimes and misdemeanors will be… trolling.
Most witnesses on the list Nunes gave FoxNews are the focus of right wing conspiracy theories.
They can’t defend Trump’s abuses of power on substance. https://t.co/P57PXB3Ugt

Hey, which side started all this?
Errr, you and your flock literally made the Russia collusion and Bidens the subject of impeachment and now you're shocked by this witness list? You're dumber than I suspected. #ImpeachmentHoax #coup https://t.co/joeiKuA8f7
